<DIV>The words of the first verse are from the hymn, "Open my Eyes,
That I May See", the first and last phrase of the first verse, by Clara H.
Scott, 1841 - 1897, according to <EM>The Methodist Hymnal.</EM> We probably did
sing this hymn in the Order.</DIV>

<DIV>It's a Chris Williamson song on her album, 'The Changer and the Changed',
a classic in the women's music tradition from the 70's. Released on Olivia
Records (which was THE Lesbian independent music distributor), it sold a half
million copies. Don't know whether Chris is the author or whether it's
"traditional". As far as I can remember, it's not an Order song.</DIV>

My experience of community singing gets mixed up between the Order and
Songaia, but I thought Fred, Stan Carol and I brought it to
Songaia. Here are the words. I am adding the first part that
you hear with the link from yesterday, it was not included when I found the
verses and chorus on line this morning.<BR><BR>Open my eyes that I may
